Podcasts about its america annual meeting

There was so much going on at the ITS European Congress in Eindhoven and the ITS America Annual Meeting in Washington, DC that we couldn't fit all the material in, so here's a bonus podcast thanks to SWARCO and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. In this programme you'll hear from the Central Ohio Transit Agency about its smart cities programme and the views of the UK's Department for Transport ITS Lead about integrating transport technology into the mainstream. After catching up with them at the Annual Meeting in Detroit last year, we hear from two American companies, McCain and Zinc Five about their years and we also catch up with another company previously featured on Talking Transport, HERE, about, among other things, the challenge of digitising the vast numbers of traffic orders currently residing on old pieces of paper. We also talk Australian initiatives and collaboration with the rest of the world, and also tell you how you can get involved on future Talking Transport podcasts.

We’ve come to the end of our week-long Michigan and SWARCO-sponsored Pan Pond Podcasts from the ItS European Congress and the ITS America Annual Meeting, but there’s still a lot of talk to come in today’s programme from Washington DC. In today's edition David Knight (pictured, left with Paul Hutton)of Terbine explains how they have built a warehouse for transport information that could lead to the monetisation of a DOT's data. The Michigan Economic and Development Corporation explain about an initiative to teach the next generation of cyber security experts, while we also learn about Cepton's powerful new LIDAR that has been designed using lessons learned from the acoustics industry, and the results are astounding. There's also more safety talk as we get an update from Together for Safer Roads and talk to Danlaw about their emergency vehicles priority solution. Just a note - we’ve got so much material that we haven’t had time to use, so we’ll have a bonus programme soon for more chat from both the ITS European Congress and the ITS America Annual meetings

SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton’s on his way to Washington to report from the ITS America Annual Meeting, but today’s Talking Transport podcast concentrates on more talk from the ITS European Congress in Eindhoven, sponsored by SWARCO and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It today’s edition Paul talks about a project testing new AI processes for driverless vehicles and then looks at how the driverless pod has developed over the years. We find out about software being shown at both events that gives real time information about work zones, making them safer by informing travellers through media and connected vehicles and we also talk to the world’s oldest national ITS Society about their developing role, and to one of their members. Paul also takes the FIA driving challenge where his overall driving style is tested in real time on the streets of Eindhoven – is he above or below average? You don’t want to miss what happens.

It's Day Two of the ITS European Congress in Eindhoven, while the ITS America Annual Meeting is kicking off in Washington DC, and the second of five podcasts from both events this week is now online, sponsored by SWARCO and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. In today's programme we learn about a project in New Zealand that uses accurate GPS data to identify three risks to road safety and how to mitigate against them and we also hear about SWARCO’s latest software. Connekt, ITS Netherlands, give details of how the event has been delivered and discuss the range of discussions taking place this week in Eindhoven and we also meet Navinfo, a Chinese company expanding into Europe. And SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton meets a colleague who agrees with him that the ITS Industry must do more to engage with the general public, and has a variety of tips on what to do. It’s the second of our Pan Pond podcasts from Eindhoven and Washington this week… Paul is now leaving Eindhoven to fly to Washington DC in time for the last two days of the Annual Meeting of ITS America, but he will have more from Eindhoven in tomorrow's podcast before concentrating on the big talking points and demonstrations in Washington on Thursday and Friday.

With the ITS European Congress and ITS America Annual Meeting taking place in the same week, the Talking Transport podcast, sponsored by SWARCO and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation is reporting from both events , starting with the first programme from Eindhoven featuring interviews from the Mobifestival public day. In today's podcast Jacob Bangsgaard, CEO of organisers ERTICO - ITS Europe explains the importance of reaching the public saying "It’s fantastic to get the opportunity to show what we do to the general public," and adding that this is the biggest ITS European Congress to date, showing how strong our industry is. You'll also hear from Gert Blom, Chair of the National Host Committee, saying that Mobifestival shows "people are very interested and eager to see the demonstrations and I think that it’s been a great success," while we also talk to a family attending the event. The Mayor of Helmond, Elly Blanksma explains how the city strives to make sure it integrates smart mobility saying "Helmond is a European front runner, we develop and implement intelligent transport systems and smart mobility."

In this special podcast sponsored by SWARCO, Paul Hutton talks to three of the people playing a key role in the ITS European Congress 2019 in Eindhoven. Event Director Didier Gorteman talks about all the key things taking place at the event and why it takes the European Congress experience to a new level. We hear about the public day from event co-ordinator Michelle van de Laarchot who gives details of what to see and do on the special day focussing on the end user which takes place on 2nd June. And Chris Huijboom, who's project manager at HAN University for applied sciences in autonmotive research talks about his work with the future workforce and why young professionals' mindset is helping shape the planning for mobility of the future. There will be special podcasts throughout the week of the event in Eindhoven and also from the concurrent ITS America Annual Meeting in Washington - Paul will be at both events. Next week we have a special podcast about the 50th birthday of SWARCO so join Paul for that.

The second podcast from the ITS America Annual Meeting 2018 in Detroit, sponsored by 3M Connected Roads, concentrates on initiatives to help new ideas get support in order to make a difference to the way we travel. SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton talks to new ITS America Hall of Famer Kirk Steudle, the Director of Michigan DOT who tells him that the key to his state's success in implementing transport technology is the governor Rick Snyder's belief that it is OK to try something and it not work, and that if you're not failing once in a while, "you're not working hard enough". Paul talks about a new Michigan grant programme to support mobility start-ups in the state, with more than a million dollars of funding. The Planet M testing and start-up grants involve a number of stakeholders including the Univerity of Michigan’s test site Mcity in Ann Arbor and Lab director Greg McGuire tells us more about it. We also hear about another major test bed near Detroit as Paul talks to one of the VPs of the American Center of Mobility at Willow Run.  Mark Chaput tells him about the vast facility and what it means to autonomous vehicle development. We take a tour of the 3M roadshow truck and hear about some of the initiatives it showcases and take a test drive with GEWI and iCone who have together worked on a safety solution for work zones. Finally there's another launch at the event as ITS America and the Las Vegas-based company Terbine announced a data exchange initiative.  The entrepreneurial founder of Terbine David Knight tells us all about it and why it makes such a difference to the task of turning data into information.

In this podcast from the Transport Network, sponsored by 3M Connected Roads, we set the scene for the ITS America Annual Meeting in Detroit talking to the Director of Michigan's Department for Transportation Kirk Steudle who discusses his support for ITS, the challenge of finding funds to innovative new projects and the Annual Meeting itself. We also look ahead to another event, this time in the UK, as we talk to Kier's Network Technology Director Paul Wilson to discuss Traffex Seeing is Believing taking place on the 27 and 28 June at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire. He also gives us his thoughts on the company's smart motorway delivery, CAVs and future investment. There's also a round-up of the latest news headlines on the Highways Magazine and SMART Highways websites.
